sEYBERT's TROUBLES CONTINUE.
ONE OF his WITNESSES ARRESTED FOR
PERJURY.


George Kromley, Of Salem township,
was arrested Wednesday of last week
by Detective O. aries Holland upon
the charge of perjury. Dan +. Seybert,
of Salem township, was tried in the
criminal court of Union county, two
weeks ago. He was tried upon the
charge Of burglary, as preferred by De-
tectve Holland. Seybert was charged
with having burglarized the residence
Of Mrs. 9. g. jackson, at Berwick, 10
August 1885, and in which job Deteo-
tive H,llaud took hand in order TO
ferret out Seybert at some of his tricks.
Seybert asked fer change of venue
on the ground that he could not get
fair trial. The case was then taken to
Union county but he was convicted
nevertheless.
Among the witnesses that Seybert
had on the stand was young man
named George Kromley. This man
has been in the employ Of Seybert since
boybood days. He has an unsavory
reputation in the neighborhood and is
considered bad character. Krom,ey
was one of Seyberts best witnesses.
1t was then learned by the Common
wealth that he had committed deliber-
ate and willful perjury, as well as sew
eral others of Seyberts witnesses. A
warrant was at once issued for Krom-
ley's arrest and Detective Holland was
given the document to serve. The
plucky Detective reached Beach Haven
aud kept his eye open for Krom.
ley, who had heard of the
matter and kept rather shady.
Wednesday afternoon Detective Hol
land started out in search of Kromley
and he traced him to Seybert's farm,
which is the second farm aboye Ber.
wick. He now had to proceed eau
tiously as Seybert had threatened to
make it anything but pleasant for him
at the first opportunity. The detect
i've soon discovered Kromley engaged
at work near the barn, and also that
Seybert was about. He waited but a
few seconds when Seybert went into
the library. The Detective then bodily
rushed forward and arrested him De-
fore he had time to hide. He then
started off with his prisoner and had
gone only short distance when Sey
bert saw what was up. The next mom-
ent Seybert was out of the library and
in pursuit of Detective Holland. Sey.
bert picked up piece of cord wood,
made dash for Holland and attempt
ed TO strike him. Holland then pulled
out a revolver and told Seybert to keep
quiet and behave. When Seybert saw
the glitteriug barrel of the weapon he
dropped the wood and beat hasty
retreat. Holland succeeded in getting
Kromley from the Seybert farm with
out any further molestatioD. He took
him to Berwick and there placed him
in the lock up to await transportation
TO Lewisburg
When Kromley was being locked up
he confessed that he testified falsely
at the trial in order to please his em.
ployer, Seybert.

Blaine's Presentiment.

A recent dispatch from New York
says:
"Those who were nearest to James
u. Blaine in the canvass of 1884, and
who had his entire confidence, can
bear evidence that there never was a
day or hour, from his nomination at
Chicago, in June, 1884, until the end
OF the campaign, on the first Tuesday
OF November, bat Mr. Blaine did not
believe he would be defeated
If the above be true, Mr.. Blaine got
bravely over bis presentiment immedi-
ately after the first Tuesday of Novem-
Der. The country remembers only too
well how frantically he olung to the de
lusion that he was elected, and how he
urged his friends TO hold New York
for him at all hazards, and how he and
his friends claimed everything, under
his advice, for days and even weeks
after his defeat had become certain.
As Mr.. Blaine is subject to present.
ments we would suggest to him that
there is food for thought for him in
the possibilities of 1888. A pre- senti-
ment that John Sherman will defeat
him for the presidential nomination, or
even if nominated that Grover Cleve.
land will defeat him in the election,
would be well founded.

Liberty's Light.

A great deal has been said. and much
fun made of the lighting of the Statue
of Liberty, on Liberty Island, in New
York Harbor, but at last the Light
House Board has completed arrange
ment for increasing and imp owing its
illumination. A strong lens will be
placed in the torch, five additional
electric lights will be placed around the
base, making thirteen in all, and a
number Of incandescent lights will be
placed in the interior of the statue.
The light to be placed in the torch will
be one of the most powerful fixed
lights IN the world. 1t is intended
more for the purpose of enchanting
the grandeur of the statue than an aid
to navigation, as light of much less
power than that selected would
answer equally well for the latter pur.
pose. The proposed work will he
done under the supervision OF Lieut..
John Mills, U. S. Engineer Corps.
Improvements are also contemplated at
the base of the statue. An appropria-
tion of Sl9,5OO was made at the last
session of Congress for lighting the
statue and improving the surround
ings.

Fire at New Columbus.

The peaceful slumbers of our villag
ers were suddenly disturbed, about
o'clock on the 30th ultimo, by the dread
cry Of "fire." 1t was found TO be ema-
mating from the west front of the
Rooms Hotel. The property was re
Gently sold by the heirs of the estate
to w. L. Stevens, of this place. The
terrible uncertainties of an earthquake
are scarcely more dreadful than the
wild cry of "fire" in the darkness of
night and when the flames are famed
by the March winds of this altitude the
terror is doubly Intensified. The pain
ful reflection that our half-dressed,
panic-stricken neighbors IL nust impro-
wise and constitute the only fire de-
partment attainable, is by no means
reassuring Mrs. d. L. Chaplin was
first to discover the fire, from her bed
room opposite, and her husband was
first to give the alarm. 1t was the
prompt action of ID L. Chaplin, Charles
Marsch and j. b. Rninard that may b.
said to have rescued from destruction,
not only the hotel, but also such other
buildings as the flames might easily
have reached. A few moments delay
| on this occasion would, in our opinion,
have resulted in the destruction of the
principal buildings of the town. Hap.
PLY, no serious damage was done to
the occupants or to the building.
This building has narrowly escaped
the ravagss of fire on several previous
occasions but hitherto the origin waa
purely accidental, and, tbeaefore, easily
determined and excused Examination
on the part of landlord Coleman has
conclusive evidence that this was the
the hellish work of an incendiary bent
upon gain or vllliany. Old newspapers
saturated with coal oil were drawn
from between the weather. boards and
plastering and, therefore, the evidence
of incendlarism may be both seen and
smelled Murder will out, and 30 we
trust may this black villany sooner OF
later.
For lighter reading the cOmical feat.
ures of this serious occasion may be
worthy of mention. For instance, D.
l.. Chaplin found his pants had 90,
tangled in the excitement, and he
couldn't get them on, 80 he ran out
e" deshabille aud cried 'fire" until tn.
frost admonishe1 him to retro for a
second and more successfully wrestle
with his pants. VIM. Bellies, startled
by the cry, slipped out of bed and into
his gum boots. H, was aboot to ioin
the fire department when his wife re.
min led him that he would look better
with pants on. His modesty compelled
him to stop long enough to comply.
Landlord Coleman not only heard the
slid alarm, but he smelled the smoke
uncomfortably near, and he determined
10 act with the demoralized depart
ment instauter. His first effort was to
get light to see the fire, and after re-
peated unsuccessful attempts, he sue
ceeded through his wife's assistance.
He grabbed pail of water and with
his heart in his mounth, he started for
the west front on slippery path, and
coming upon the scene of the remorse-
less flame, he took an awkward plunge
and received the cool contents of his
bucket. But other members of the de.
partmtnt were more successful in get.
ting water to the spot, and hence Sc
rious damage and much deviltry was
averted. Yours, &c.
